Document Summary

Some parts of story may not run. Damage has been done on a small scale, b/c not everyone saw it in the first paper/station to run it. No one reports on rape b/c people have right to own life unless it comes from the victim"s mouth: elizabeth smart case: report on kidnapping not rape. Does it effect community: public safety=yes. Do you publish an embargoed story early: well, the first to do it will be cut off, but if you come later but early it"s ok. Selling an embargoed story to an independent news source: reporter might tell another from a different paper to follow something b/c they can"t. Story that causes most fear or speculation has most weight: could it happen to me/in my town, death>injury>property damage, murder>robbery>burglary (unless it"s a prominent person, young & old (think about buildings and laws as well)>teens>adults.
